  2. It sounds as if you have a very sensible wife. You should treasure her.

  3.  @janetevans4176  You mean "accept" dear, and you are wrong. The royal family is supported by the Sovereign Grant, which is a percentage of the revenue from the Crown Estate. At resent it is 25%, but in 2027 it will drop to 15%. The rest of the revenue from the Crown estate is administered by the government.

  4.  @theresam1963  If you are talking about Queen Camilla, it may surprise you to learn that neither her former husband nor her children from that marriage have been given any titles. So you can find something else to be outraged about.

  6.  @sunshine-qk8qe  The king has spoken at WEF - Yes. He has endorsed some of the WEF's, frankly, vague suggestions about how the world economy should be "reset" in the wake of the global COVID_19 pandemic. Many of these are entirely sensible - working from home; a "wealth tax" now marketed as a "windfall tax" on those companies which have benefitted from either the lockdown or the shortages caused by the War in Ukraine. When he suggests that "we could learn a lot from Islam" he is absolutely correct, but you are completely incorrect when you say he sent no greetings at Easter. He Attended church, and sent out a message on the official Tweeter account. What more do you want him to do? He can hardly bless the faithful from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

  7. Do you even know what the "Great Reset" refers to? Explain it for us.

  8.  @Bluediamond200  If you are a British citizen, then he IS your king. You do not have any say in the matter. .

  10. What we have on this thread is dozens of Alf Garnets taking personal offence to the idea that they have been "invited" to do something.

  12.  @B.a.S.t.A.r.D.  Why is it that the people who drag Jimmy Savile up from his tomb are almost always illiterate? Does this rancid obsession with a man who died 2011 only apply to the thick-witted? If they cannot gets the man's name correct, they fall down in other areas. It is "friend".

  16.  @desertflower89  I don't copy and paste. I type them in directly. If you want a longer response, you can have one, but statements like "Charley's allegiance to the wef (sic)" are such obvious dog whistles that I am prepared to leave a warning to people who might be taken in.

  17.  @andygriffiths9916  Fool yourself. If you had bothered to read down the wikipedia entry, you might have seen the paragraph that explains why perfectly sensible post COVID-19 measures were turned into a conspiracy by the American far right. Their fantasies then spread to, of all places, the Netherlands and took on a new life.

  18. How so?

  19.  @jeddward9464  Many citizens of the UK are Muslims, that may be why. If you disapprove of Muslims, how do you feel about Sikhs, or Roman Catholics, or Jews? Should the king ignore their religious festivals as well?

  20. What do you prefer then - "insular", "parochial", "provincial", "xenophobic", "chauvinistic""?

  21. Given the fact that Westminster has effectively come to a standstill, and there are people camping out in Mall, "irrelevant" is hardly an apposite adjective.

  22.  @MegaSimplysimon  And cynics will be cynics. There are always those for whom the glass is half empty and someone else is responsible for that state of affairs. After the coronation, they will find new focus for their outrage, and put new chips on their shoulders.
